Ok that is offensive and not true. I laughed when I read that quote in the article because I have literally been in a B&N in the Florida Panhandle (my in-laws live there) and they do in fact have a a whole aisle of bibles. I noticed it when I was there.

They also had Burn Book by Kara Swisher (which is what I was there to buy) and lots of fun books for my kid.

There is a center near us anchored by a Harris Teeter. The other small stores are chains, nail salon and similar. I rarely go to the center but a neighbor told me a small B&N is opening there. I was thrilled becauseI had been going to a larger store that was overwhelming. I was very loyal to a small independent bookstore and raised significant money fir it when it struggled during the pandemic. I stopped patronizing it when I wanted yo buy a new book in a detective series and was told the store did not carry it because of the author’s opinions. B&N had the book and i have never returned to the indie store.
